The Agni-III missile was successfully test-fired from the Integrated Test Range at Chandipur, located along the coast of Odisha. Conducted under the supervision of the Strategic Forces Command, the launch was part of a routine training exercise aimed at validating operational readiness rather than developing new capabilities. The test confirmed the performance of key subsystems such as propulsion, guidance, and control. Such launches play a vital role in maintaining India’s credible minimum deterrence posture by ensuring that deployed missile systems remain reliable, responsive, and fully prepared for real-world operational conditions.
